About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an uplifting, emotional documentary about sustainability, perseverance, and the messy realities of working with nature; Not for you if you dislike sentimental storytelling or animal-related ethical dilemmas, like in Mission Blue.
Pros: inspiring real-life journey; engaging, charming tone; beautiful nature moments | Cons: can feel oversentimental; heavy voiceover explaining; tough animal-life choices
